Question

When some rock is brought to the earth from the surface of the moon, Will its mass and weight change?

Short Note

Solution

Mass of the body is constant at all positions so mass will not change. But weight will change as gravity on the surface of earth is almost 6 times than on the surface of the moon, so its weight will increase almost 6 times on the surface of earth.
